Painting description

The painting depicts a ballerina in a moment of focus. Gentle pastel colors, with pink and white dominating, create a subtle, almost ethereal composition. The ballerina’s tutu fans out into a huge, circular shape, like a little cloud. The soft hum of the background brings the main subject to the fore, creating an atmosphere of concentration and calm. A sky—some kind of sky in the vanity mirror—at which the ballerina gazes pensively. The artist’s style is realistic, yet at the same time reminiscent of delicate Impressionism. The brushstrokes are soft, almost elusive, as if floating in the air. The ballerina seems momentarily suspended in motion, as if time had stood still for a moment. Such a painting can evoke a range of emotions, from nostalgia, through awe, to a hush in the heart. “Wow, what a big skirt!” a child looking at this painting might say. That quiet moment of preparation has captured my heart. There is something magical in this simplicity, in that moment when the world seems to disappear and only passion remains. Emotions flow like a river, and I feel as if I were there myself. This is beauty, true “art.”
